I'm a complete convert to auto boxes. The 9 speed auto box on my SLC is absolutely brilliant, to the extent that I seldom use the flappy paddles. It also helps make the car incredibly economical in everyday use. These gearboxes are a world away from the old 3 speed slush boxes of yesteryear. I don't doubt that BMW's box is every bit as good as Daimler Benz's offering.
I do agree tho' from an emotional point of view with the feeling that a car such as a Morgan trad should be a manual, but I wouldn't be against it on principle without driving the new Plus Six. By all accounts, it is sensational.
